Original Agenda
- Agenda
- Approve IDE WG (if email voting doesn't show a quorum yet)
- Approve F5.com as a new member (if email voting doesn't show a quorum yet)
- Approve Abiss.gr as a new member - Professional services company in Greece focused on open source technologies with their own Ajax library (Sarissa)
- Development Process v2 (with "Members in good standing")
- Public voting so far is unanimously +1
- One private message indicates that there might be a bit of a backfire
- To minimize backfire, perhaps replace "Members in Good Standing" with "Members with Active Standing"
- Individuals as members
- Public voting so far is unanimously +1
- One private message wonders if this approach would be acceptable to some key toolkit developers
- Adobe wants additional policies, such as no double-dipping
- Suggestion from MobileAware: "has an established track record of involvement and contribution to the Ajax community, and/or has experience and expertise of specific interest to the Ajax community" (or maybe to the OpenAjax Alliance)
- Hub 1.1 Roadmap
- Mobile Ajax Task Force
- Kickoff meeting at end of July
- Will try to have MobileTF+MktgWG produce a Mobile Ajax white paper in time for AJAXWorld print edition in September (deadline sometime in August)
- Then maybe focus on posting information to guide Mobile Ajax developers (e.g., which features work on which mobile devices, what differences need to be addressed)
- Security Task Force
- Working on use cases
- Probably work towards a white paper
- Reports on other committees and activities (if time permits)
Discussion
Jon: No quorum, so let's just talk about things on the agenda and do formal votes via email.
(everyone): ok
Jon: We have 5 votes for approving IDE WG, so it is approved.
Jon: We still need votes on membership for F5.com and we have a new company to vote on, Abiss.gr.
Jon: New development process, and members in good standing. Universal +1 votes. One private message that showed fear about joining a WG and having stigma of having bad standing. I propose that I send email to SC where we approve the proposed new process except that we use the word "Member in Active Standing" instead of "Member in Good Standing".
(everyone): ok
Jon: Individuals as members. All +1 votes. Private message from someone who did cast a +1 vote that asked what key Ajax library developers would say. I sent private email back saying that we were aware of tradeoffs and took a middle ground which we knew might not what they need or want. No subsequent response, so probably satisfied. Another email from Adobe in the other direction expression concerns about being too loose and preventing double-dipping. MobileAware proposed a small change to allow for people with particular expertise. I propose that I send email to SC where we approve the new individuals as members approach but with minor edit per MobileAware's suggestion.
(everyone): ok
Jon: I published a Hub 1.1 roadmap.
(Discussion followed. David asked about timeline. Jon said he was proposed an Aug 1 joint telecon with Interop, CommHub and Security committees which would help inform SC about what direction to take.)
Jon: Mobile Task Force has kick-off meeting probably on Aug 1. Have talked with Rhys Davis, the chair. Maybe start work quickly on white paper. Maybe give developers guidelines for writing Ajax apps that work on Ajax-capable mobile phones.
Jon: Security Task Force is moving fast. Use cases submitted. White paper strawman in 2 weeks. SMash proposal. Plus Hub 1.1 addresses secure mashups.
(Kevin reported on IDE WG progress. Strong momentum. Commercial XML file formats from MS and Aptana have been posted with friendly licenses that address at least some of the requirements.)
Jon: Next phone call?
(All four people were available Wed. Aug 1, 10amPT, 1pmET)
